Perhaps Microsoft is coming up with a new version of Movie Maker (or a replacement program altogether) that they’ll release in January 2017 with more powerful features compared to the older application. Of course, there are several possibilities here. It’s a shame, because it’s a nice little program. Yet, considering that it’s been a part of the Windows Essentials 2012 package for over four years now, I suppose it really wasn’t a surprise to me to learn that it would, in fact, eventually be phased out. Sure, I eventually got into editing with more powerful, paid-for programs, but Movie Maker was always there as a fallback and as something I could use to piece together simple things (like intros and credit sequences) quickly and painlessly.
This is kind of a disappointment to me because, like many people, I first got into basic video editing with Movie Maker. By extension, this means that Windows Live Movie Maker will also no longer be supported. A recent visit to Microsoft’s website in order to download the latest Windows Essentials package (for Movie Maker, which I still use for simple things) gave me a bit of a surprise: Windows Essentials 2012 will no longer be supported after January 10, 2017.
